Paul Kim aka PK has asked me to do a Pass Around to spread the word about his products from his new company PKDL (PK DESIGN LAB).
A short history:
Once upon a time PK was the man largely responsible for numerous products coming out of the fabled company SureFire. The 6P we still find so enderaing along with the infamous M6 and a whole bunch of others.
He left SureFire and set out on his own. Since then he owns a consultant business where he designs products for other companies. Following his first love he also started a company where ideas are put into products with his personality involved. That company is called PKDL.
Those products consist of cutting edge technology being placed into flashlights and inkpens so far. Some are specially made PK versions of products by others. Some are exclusively his own. All have 2 goals in mind.
1) The best value possible while providing never done before ideas. One where the owner himself stands behind the product that is designed, engineered and built to the best standards. He stakes his reputation on each and everyone. He stands behind each product with his personal guarentee.
2) The personal protection aspect. These are not weapons. But are items that can make a difference between being accosted by a would-be attacker or not. Same as ordinary household items yet each has a distinctive flare designed to promote self confidence when walking through a parking garage late at night.
Some time ago I discovered his PK-FL2 LE flashlight. Well not being around bright flashlights very long I was impressed and said so. I came here looking for ways to improve lighting inside my car. Time has passed and I have become familiar with what is out there in this modern age of flashlights.
I personally find these PKDL products to be right up there with the best. I am in no way receiving any compensation for this. Not even free stickers. Nope, this thing is being done because I believe strongly in the products that PK has to offer. I know him personally and that is as far as it goes. I just want to share with the CPF community the products a personal friend of mine has to offer.
So with that said... here goes.
The following below is a copy and paste from a previous Pass Around. It is the potential standard by which all pass arounds should be guided.
Credit goes to member Mr. Mom.
"The required fine print.....
1. You must be a registered member of CPF for at least 6 months AND have 50 posts or be a CPF supporter.
2. You must be over 18 years old to participate.
3. This pass around is restricted to CONUS. You will be expected to ship the flashlight to the next participant using a USPS flat rate priority box with tracking number.
4. Post your interest here, in this thread, and then PM me with: (You will not be put on the list until I receive your PM!)
a. Forum Name
b. Full Real Name
c. Shipping Address
d. Email Address
e. Phone Number
5. You must post a photo of the light here, in this thread, as received. (Protects you.)
6. Keep the light for several days - maximum 14 days. Please feel free to use the light in what would be considered a normal manner. But remember that you are responsible for the light and if you break or damage it beyond what could, or would be normal wear and tear, you own it and replacement WILL be expected. Do not throw the light, use it as a hammer or pry bar, or subject it to any tests that could damage it. Do Not Modify The Light In Any Way!!!
7. Before shipping the light to the next person in line, please clean it up, wipe it off and in general make sure it is in good shape. Also be sure the batteries are not dead. If you run down the batteries, please be kind enough to pass the light on with fresh batteries.
8. Pack the light back up with everything that came with it, as packed by the manufacture for retail sale. PM the next person in line for their mailing address, include Bykfixer in the PM with shipping details and tracking number, and ship it out via USPS priority flat rate. The last person will return the products to Bykfixer.
9. Post here in this thread once the package has been shipped - PM the tracking number to Bykfixer.
10. Remember - once the light is in your possession, it is your responsibility until it leaves your possession. It is also your responsibility to make sure it makes it to the next person in the pass around in a timely manner. I've seen how you guys can eviscerate each other around here for not holding up your ends of bargains - don't be THAT guy that we read about in the Jeers thread!
11. And last, but certainly not least, please take a moment to take some photos and make some comments, reviews and improvement suggestions here in this thread regarding your experiences, impressions and opinions of the light. Good, Bad, Ugly... doesn't matter. We want YOUR feedback!
Are you a budding reviewer? Post your first one here!
We reserve the right to determine who can or cannot participate on a case by case basis. Those which do not follow the posted rules will be BANNED from all future passarounds.
To post photos so that they will appear directly on the page, not as clickable links, upload them to your free photo bucket account. From photo bucket, copy the URL titled "Direct link", there are four to chose from. On the CPF thread click on the picture icon "Insert Image" then paste the photo bucket URL which you copied.
